💡Does the Las Vegas horseback ride include a meal?

Yes, the 5-hour Las Vegas horseback ride includes a meal, either a breakfast on the sunrise option or a Western BBQ dinner on the sunset option, departing from Las Vegas for $129.99 per person. After hotel pickup and a drive into the Southern Nevada desert, you ride about 1.5 hours single file through Joshua tree trails with a wrangler, then eat. Best for beginners and experienced riders ages 6+ under 250 pounds who want a slow guided ride, not galloping.

🎯 Why People Book This

The point of this trip is a 1.5-hour guided trail ride in the Southern Nevada desert with a meal at either end, and round-trip pickup from select Strip hotels so you don't drive yourself. At USD 129.99 per person, you're paying for the transport and a sit-down breakfast or Western dinner as much as the ride itself. The horses go single file at a walk, with no running or galloping, which suits beginners and rules out anyone hoping to open up across open ground. What you're really choosing is a half-day off the Strip on horseback over a faster desert outing you'd have to reach on your own.

🗺️ The Experience

A 5-hour guided horseback ride on desert trails in Southern Nevada, with hotel pickup and a meal included, priced at USD 129.99 per person.

The ride itself runs about 1.5 hours, in single file, at a walk. Galloping is not permitted, which tells you what kind of day this is: a paced trail ride, not a test of skill. Wranglers match each rider to a horse based on experience, and the operation is built to take complete beginners, so the demand on you is mostly sitting the saddle and steering, not riding well. The trail crosses ground marked by mountains and Joshua trees, with the chance to see bighorn sheep, roadrunners, and jackrabbits along the way.

Out of the five hours, the ride is the shortest part. The rest is the drive from the Strip into the desert and back, plus the meal that bookends the saddle time. You pick which meal by choosing a tier: the Breakfast Ride pairs the trail with a morning meal, the Sunset Dinner Ride finishes with a Western BBQ, and a Last Minute Offer covers the same ride at the going rate. Vegetarian meals are available if you request them at checkout. Gratuities and a private version sit outside the base price.

So you are paying mainly for the transport and the meal, with ninety minutes actually on a horse at the center of it.

🤔 Is It Worth It?

Our verdict: The thing worth knowing up front is that this is a slow day on purpose. You're not chasing speed or adrenaline, you're riding a horse through desert for five hours with a meal in the middle, and that pace is the whole point. It suits the traveler who wants the Old West version of the desert, not the engine-powered one.

Worth it if:

you'd rather move through the desert at a walking pace on horseback than tear across it on a machine
you want a half-day out of the city that ends with food included, so the whole afternoon is accounted for without a separate plan
the ride itself matters more to you than how far or fast you cover ground

Skip it if:

you came for speed and dust, in which case the $129.99 Half-Day Mojave Desert ATV Adventure runs the same money for the same kind of half-day and gives you the throttle this one deliberately doesn't
five hours is more desert than you want, and the 2-Hour Nellis Dunes ATV Ride gets you the landscape and back in a fraction of the day

Choose this over the Half-Day Mojave Desert ATV Adventure if:

you'd take a horse and a meal over an ATV and a helmet, and a longer, quieter day appeals more than a faster, louder one

💡 Insider Tip

The ride itself is the same 1.5 hours either way, so pick by meal and light: the Breakfast Ride for a cowboy breakfast at sunrise, or the Sunset Dinner Ride for the Western BBQ and lower light over the Joshua trees and mountains. If you're flexible on timing, the Last Minute Offer is the way to ride for less than the standard 129.99.

LasVegasTour Editorial Review

★★★★★★★★★★LasVegasTour Rating

“What you're buying here is roughly 90 minutes in the saddle wrapped inside a five-hour block, with the rest going to hotel pickup, the desert drive and a meal. That's the trade-off: a single-file walk-only trail, no running or galloping, paired with breakfast or a Western dinner for $129.99. Beginners who want a calm ride get the most out of it. Confident riders chasing pace should skip it.”
